Overview

The Mersen T076170 is a high-performance Protistor® Size 93 aR fuse-link designed for robust AC protection in demanding power conversion applications. Engineered by Mersen, this fuse-link operates at a rated voltage of 1500VAC and a current rating of 500A, providing essential protection for sensitive semiconductor devices such as SCRs, diodes, thyristors, GTOs, and IGBTs. Its square body construction, a hallmark of the Protistor® series, ensures reliable performance and efficient heat dissipation. The fuse-link features pure silver die-cut elements embedded in solidified sand, a construction method that precisely controls arcing characteristics, resulting in low I²t values and a high breaking capacity of 126 kA. This design minimizes damage to protected equipment during fault conditions. The T076170 is equipped with flush ends and metric threads for secure and convenient mounting, offering flexibility in equipment design. All contact surfaces are silver-plated, and hardware is non-magnetic to prevent interference. A low-voltage trip-indicator is integrated, which can be used to operate a field-mountable microswitch, allowing for remote monitoring of fuse status even while the fuse is in service. This fuse-link is manufactured in the US and is a critical component for ensuring the safety and longevity of advanced power electronics systems. Key specifications include a rated voltage of 1500VAC, a current rating of 500A, a pre-arcing I²t of 44 kA²s, and a clearing I²t at rated voltage of 360 kA²s. The power dissipation at In is 112 W.
